Increase transparency, reduce effort

Trinkgut uses TC eBid® for online transport tendering

Since the end of last year the drinks cash and carry chain trinkgut Deutsche Getränke-Holding GmbH trusts TC eBid®.

The drinks specialist uses TimoCom to place an average of 30 tenders per month for long term transport contracts, mainly inner German. Trinkgut also invites previous hauliers and freight forwarders to take part - participation for them is free. The interested parties receive all the necessary information without complications by e-mail via the TC eBid®-Report.

Practical: complicated tables, outdated address directories or protracted telephone calls are a thing of the past for all those involved. The complete process is registered electronically and documented clearly and comprehensibly.

„TC eBid®, that's a wise choice for the contract business. The simple and easy to understand tendering procedure and the useful functions are just what we need. We save time and effort and have already managed to gain several qualified business partners for our procurement logistics." (Paul Ahmann, trinkgut Logistic Manager).

La Martiniquaise and Hinterland: a win-win partnership via TC eBid®

On the one side Hinterland a French haulage contractor from Brest, on the other La Martiniquaise the second largest spirits producer in France. In principle, they would hardly have had an opportunity to meet each other...

Thanks to TC eBid®, the European-wide online tendering platform, they entered into a successful cooperation. Initially, La Martiniquaise merely wanted to test TC eBid®. The spirits producer was searching in the platform for new business partners with specific characteristics for selected routes. No problem with TC eBid®: through the tendering platform, shippers can specify their needs to the haulage contractors and consequently search more efficiently for business partners. Hinterland met their profile needs and placed his bid for free. Lucky strike for both, as a result of the original encounter a partnership was developed.

La Martiniquaise was looking for an efficient and fast user friendly tool... TC eBid® convinced them completely after the first test.

"TC eBid®: only invites haulage contractors to our tenders that are previously selected entirely according to our requirements. This way we obtain an optimised list of suitable haulage contractors with their bids. Finding reliable haulage contractors that can meet the needs of the shippers takes specific know-how, which is not necessarily ours, but is TimoCom's!". (Madame Lyet, Purchasing Manager La Martiniquaise).

An expert breaks new grounds

The market leading manufacturer of asphalt shingles IKO Sales tenders transport with TC eBid®

All under one roof
It is sometimes easy to make an expert change to something new. The shingle-specialist IKO Sales recently assigns transport orders through TimoCom's European-wide procurement platform TC eBid® . The online program's huge international reach and user-friendliness was what convinced them.

Significant time saving, wide scope
The figures speak for themselves: with TC eBid®, IKO Sales reaches up to 30,000 active transport service providers in the whole of Europe per online tender. In 2010 more than 4,300 tenders were placed in the online platform. "The scope is much bigger than expected. For example: a French transport service provider can now also participate in a tender for a shipment from Poland to Hungary. We could not have searched for this ourselves in France", says Philippe Cremie, IKO Sales International's Supply Chain Manager
